Ikat Print Nails

I have tried Ikat nails twice before. I showed you one attempt last January in this post. The other attempt was too poor to showcase. I don't know what it is but I find it really hard to get the Ikat print looking good. Even in this try the black cracked which ruined everything at the last minute. Super annoying!

I used Barry M's Elderberry and Peach Melba for this mani. I actually used a blue/orange combo last time as well. Clearly a fan of these colours together! 

I couldn't tell you why my Ikat nails never come out perfect. I always love the look on other people but they just don't look right on me. If any of you have a particular knack for it, please let me know! 

Do you have any looks that you struggle to get right?
